Not in HIS wardrobe.

As the release of the new Narnia movie draws nigh, Phillip Pullman continues his weird crusade against the Chronicles. His own book The Golden Compass will also be a movie soon, yet Pullman really has it in for C.S. Lewis. Is this professional jealousy, competitiveness, or just good old-fashioned curmudgeonliness? Pullman has called the Narnia books "a peevish blend of racist, misogynistic and reactionary prejudice", insisting they don't contain any of the Christian principles they supposedly uphold.

Hmph.

He probably isn't going to make as much money, that's it.
